Did you know Obama voted 97% with his party as opposed to McCains 73%?

Question

Whos the real reformer, McCain! check factcheck.org! who really reaches across party lines? McCain 08.

Answer 1

well unfortunately for you, if someone voted with the republicans then they would be responsible for the mess we are in right now, So the fact that Obama voted against republicans 97 percent of the time would actually be a good thing.

Remember republicans vote with Bush and Bush is not exactly in the country's best interest, so if your numbers are right then that means Obama truly represents change

Answer 2

Did you know that 50% of all legislation is "AGREED" by Demcorats and Republicans .. no vote needed

Answer 3

McCain is at 95%, sorry to have to correct you.

Since voting with the democrats is a good thing, and voting with the republicans is a bad thing, then Obama = good voting, and McCain = bad voting. Pretty clear.

Answer 4

So you argue that McCain not voting with the Republican Party 27% of the time is a good thing? Well, guess what, Obama didn't vote with the Republicans 97% of the time.

Answer 5

Thanks!

Answer 6

Or Obama didn't vote at all.

McCain/Palin 2008

Answer 7

No.  I've  never seen any such claims. If this is so...where's the link?  Not just a broad reference to factcheck to try and give your claims credibility.

Answer 8

Maybe because the democrats make better bills than republicans....

Answer 9

Yeah! You forgot that fast check also said "except when he streched them! GO! McCain 08! The next President of the United States!

Answer 10

Yes I did know that, thanks for pointing that out.  However, I am certain that liberals will find some way to disagree with this fact.  Obama is the MOST liberal person in the Senate, and will vote on anything that is unpopular with the mainstream.

Answer 11

Good point.

Answer 12

now i do !!!

Answer 13

Yes and Biden I heard was 95% so were talking a 3% change..

McCain 10% sounds better to me.

Answer 14

McCain voted 90% of the time with his party and Obama voted 44% of the time with his.

Lie all you like McBush is still a loser.

Here is  my link where is YOUR?

http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/is...

YOUR link matchs my information and not yours...Your post is a lie.

Answer 15

The last 8 years he was closer to 90% for McCain.    McCain 2000 the stats are correct.      However this is not McCain 2000  

Answer 16

That's awesome.. Thanks

Answer 17

McCain had the opportunity of serving in times past when his party wasn't so far to the right and there wasn't a huge gulf between him and his Democratic counterparts. The distance for Obama across that aisle during the Bush administration is a very long way to go.

BTW, Factcheck.org IS awesome and non-partisan. The home page right now is all about fact-checking Obama's campaign because of the recent DNC convention. The Republicans turn on the home page is coming soon. But dig around this site and you'll find a lot of checks on McCain's claims, too.

Answer 18

That doesn't change the fact that McCain is too much like Bush.

73% of Bush's policies for the next 4 years is not what this country needs.

Answer 19

I was aware of that.

Answer 20

It's nice to see some facts on here for once.

Answer 21

That depends.  Which is the reform party?

(I'm not even going to ask where your numbers came from.  Did you know that roughly 75% of all statistics are just made up?)
